BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a recording apparatus and a light emitting diode lighting system, and especially relates to a light sensing sequence recording apparatus and a smart light emitting diode lighting system.
Description of the Related Art
There are a lot of types of the related art light emitting diode lighting systems. The light emitting diode units of one of the related art light emitting diode lighting systems comprise address codes. The related art lighting signal controller sends a plurality of lighting signals to a plurality of the light emitting diode units sequentially. Each of the lighting signals comprises a specific address code. Each of the light emitting diode units comprises an address code. If the address code of the light emitting diode unit is the same with (namely, matches with) the specific address code of the lighting signal, the light emitting diode unit will be driven by the lighting signal.
When the light emitting diode lighting system mentioned above is manufactured, operators have to be careful to arrange the light emitting diode units according to the sequence of the address codes. For example, the light emitting diode unit having address code 01 has to be arranged at the first location of the light emitting diode units. The light emitting diode unit having address code 02 has to be arranged at the second location of the light emitting diode units, and so on. Therefore, when the user designs the lighting command which comprises a plurality of the lighting signals, the light emitting diode units can be sequentially and correctly driven to light according to the user's idea.
For example, if the user wants that the lighting sequence is: the fifth, fourth, third, second and first location of the light emitting diode units are driven to light sequentially, the lighting command will be designed by the user intuitively as: the lighting signal having the specific address code 05, 04, 03, 02 and 01 are sent out sequentially to drive the light emitting diode units having the address code 05, 04, 03, 02 and 01 sequentially.
If the light emitting diode units are not arranged according to the sequence of the address codes, for example, the light emitting diode unit having the address code 01 is arranged incorrectly at the second location of the light emitting diode units, and the light emitting diode unit having the address code 02 is arranged incorrectly at the first location of the light emitting diode units, when the lighting command (as mentioned above) is designed as: the lighting signal having the specific address code 05, 04, 03, 02 and 01 are sent out sequentially, the fifth, fourth, third, first and second location of the light emitting diode units are driven to light sequentially, which is different from the user's idea, wherein the user's idea is: the fifth, fourth, third, second and first location of the light emitting diode units are driven to light sequentially.
Therefore, arranging the light emitting diode units according to the sequence of the address codes is very important, so that the sequence of arranging the light emitting diode units having the address codes cannot have any mistake.

The lighting signal controller 302 sequentially records specific address codes of the lighting signals 306 sent to the light emitting diode units 304 to obtain a sending sequence. If an address code of the light emitting diode unit 304 is the same with (namely, matches with) the specific address code of the lighting signal 306, the light emitting diode unit 304 is driven by the lighting signal 306 to light, so that the light sensing component 102 facing the light emitting diode unit 304 senses light emitted by the light emitting diode unit 304 and sends the light sensing signal 106 to the light sensing sequence recording unit 104. The light sensing sequence recording unit 104 records the light sensing sequence that the light sensing sequence recording unit 104 receives the light sensing signals 106 sent by each of the light sensing components 102 respectively, and then the light sensing sequence recording unit 104 informs the lighting signal controller 302 of the light sensing sequence. By looking up (namely, comparing to, checking with or identifying with) the light sensing sequence, the lighting signal controller 302 adjusts a lighting sequence of a lighting command 308 sent to the light emitting diode units 304.
Following embodiment describes the action of the light sensing sequence recording apparatus 10 and the light emitting diode lighting apparatus 30 mentioned above:
To simplify the description, only five light emitting diode units 304 are mentioned in this embodiment. The light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 01 is arranged at the second location of the light emitting diode units, and the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 02 is arranged at the first location of the light emitting diode units 304. The other light emitting diode units 304 having the address codes 03, 04 and 05 are arranged at the third, fourth and fifth location of the light emitting diode units sequentially. The light emitting diode unit 304 arranged at the first location of the light emitting diode units 304 (namely, the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 02) is arranged in the first of the compartments 10802 from left to right in FIG. 3. The light emitting diode unit 304 arranged at the second location of the light emitting diode units 304 (namely, the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 01) is arranged in the second of the compartments 10802 from left to right in FIG. 3, and so on.
The lighting signal controller 302 sends the lighting signals 306 having the specific address codes 01, 02, 03, 04 and 05 to the light emitting diode units 304 sequentially at different times. The lighting signal controller 302 obtains the sending sequence as 01, 02, 03, 04 and 05. Namely, the lighting signal controller 302 firstly sends the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 01 to the light emitting diode units 304, and then the lighting signal controller 302 sends the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 02 to the light emitting diode units 304, and so on.
When the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 01 receives the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 01, the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 01 is driven by the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 01, but the other light emitting diode units 304 receiving the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 01 are not driven by the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 01, so that the light sensing component 102 facing the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 01 senses light emitted by the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 01 and sends the light sensing signal 106 to the light sensing sequence recording unit 104. When the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 02 receives the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 02, the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 02 is driven by the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 02, but the other light emitting diode units 304 receiving the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 02 are not driven by the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 02, so that the light sensing component 102 facing the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 02 senses light emitted by the light emitting diode unit 304 having the address code 02 and sends the light sensing signal 106 to the light sensing sequence recording unit 104, and so on.
The light sensing sequence recording unit 104 records the light sensing sequence that the light sensing sequence recording unit 104 receives the light sensing signals 106 sent by each of the light sensing components 102 respectively (namely, the light sensing sequence is the second location, the first location, the third location, the fourth location and the fifth location), and then the light sensing sequence recording unit 104 informs the lighting signal controller 302 of the light sensing sequence. Now, according to the light sensing sequence, the lighting signal controller 302 is aware of the sequence that the light emitting diode units 304 are arranged in the compartments 10802. Namely, the lighting signal controller 302 is aware of the sequence and the location of each of the light emitting diode units 304.
Then, the connection between the light sensing sequence recording unit 104 and the lighting signal controller 302 is removed, and the light emitting diode units 304 are moved out from the compartments 10802. If the user wants the lighting sequence is: the fifth, fourth, third, second and first location of the light emitting diode units 304 are driven to light sequentially, the lighting command 308 will be designed by the user intuitively as: the lighting signal having the specific address code 05, 04, 03, 02 and 01 are sent out sequentially.
By comparing the light sensing sequence to the sending sequence, the lighting signal controller 302 adjusts the lighting sequence of the lighting command 308 sent to the light emitting diode units 304. Namely, the lighting signal controller 302 sends the lighting signals 306 having the specific address code 05, 04, 03, 01 and 02 sequentially to the light emitting diode units 304. Namely, the lighting signal controller 302 firstly sends the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 05 to the light emitting diode units 304, and then the lighting signal controller 302 sends the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 04 to the light emitting diode units 304, and then the lighting signal controller 302 sends the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 03 to the light emitting diode units 304, and then the lighting signal controller 302 sends the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 01 to the light emitting diode units 304, and then finally the lighting signal controller 302 sends the lighting signal 306 having the specific address code 02 to the light emitting diode units 304. Therefore, the fifth, fourth, third, second and first location of the light emitting diode units 304 are driven to light sequentially as the user's idea.
FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of another embodiment of the light sensing sequence recording apparatus and the smart light emitting diode lighting system of the present invention. The description for the elements shown in FIG. 2, which are similar to those shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, is not repeated here for brevity. Moreover, the lighting signal controller 302 is electrically connected to a direct current voltage supply 312 to receive power. The light emitting diode units 304 are connected to each other in parallel.
According to the present invention, the light emitting diode unit 304 can be arranged randomly and not following the sequence of the address codes. The advantage of the present invention is to simplify the manufacturing process of the sequence of arranging the light emitting diode units (of the light emitting diode lighting system) having the address codes.
